Orange Pear Apple Bear by Emily Gravett ties in nicely with the song Fuzzy Wuzzy. Students can also explore how to move like a bear (teddy bear, baby bear, etc.,) while singing the song. Students can also create 4-beat rhythms using things a bear would eat. Use their patterns as the B section and Fuzzy Wuzzy as the A section of an ABA pattern.
Look What I Did With a Leaf! by Morteza E. Sohi shows students how you can create pictures using leaves. Students can do a similar thing using scarves.

Students can also create 4-beat leaf rhythms. In the videos below the rhythm pattern is the B section and the song Autumn Leaves are Falling as the A section in an ABA pattern.
Written by Sally Fitz-Gibbon, Illustrated by Farida Zaman, this delightful book follows a little girl and her shoes as she goes to school. The story is written in rhyme and has a rhythm that is fun to say, especially if the class says, “Shoe, shoes, shoes, shoes!” .
This book would be a nice introduction to “Cobbler, Cobbler Mend My Shoe” found in Doreen Hall’s edition of Music For Children Vol. 1 (P. 16). Students could create a “B” section by describing a shoe they have ‘invented’ (e.g., chanting “Blue, orange, purple shoe”, or “Turbo-charged jumping shoe”). Michelle Przybylowski has created a body percussion activity entitled “Old Shoes, New Shoes” that would also be a
great follow-up for this book. The lesson can be found on page 6 of the Philadelphia Area Orff Schulwerk Association’s newsletter – Pentatonic Vol. 18, Issue 1. Available at: www.paosa.org/newletters/p08_2006.pdf Page 7 Lesson Ideas – Grade 2: Shoes
